Introduction 

The  educational  value  of  singing  games  and  simple  dances  was  recognized  long 
ago;  in  fact  the  Kindergarten  has  made  use  of  them  from  its  very  inception  as 
a  means  of  mental  and  physical  training. 

It  is  only  within  recent  years,  however,  that  such.games  and  dances  have  been 
adapted  for  use  in  the  primary  grades. 

To  bring  to  our  children  these  traditional  games,  many  of  which  have  been 
handed  down  to  us  thru  the  ages,  and  have  been  played  so  long  that  their  orig- 
in is  unknown,  and  also. some  that  are  of  more  recent  date,  together  with  a  few 
of  the  simpler  folk  dances,  is  the  object  of  this  collection. 

The  original  intention  was  to  put  this  collection  into  the  regular  Physical 
Training  Manual.  This  beinj;  found  impractical  it  is  published  in  this  form, 
so  as  to  make  available  for  the  teacher  the  descriptions  and  music  of  these  Games 
and  Dances,  with  the  hope  that  they  will  use  them  in  their  classes. 

From  the  mass  of  material  at  hand  only  that  has  been  chosen  which  expe- 
rience has  proven  to  be  valuable  and  also  usable  in  our  schools. 

There  is  enough  variety  to  meet  the  needs  and  conditions  of  most  of  our 
schools.     Each  teacher  must  select  that  which  is  best  adapted  to  her  pupils 
and  envirenment.       She  should  not  attempt  to  teach  all,  or  even  a  large  part 
of  what  is  presented.      Children  like  to  do  that  which  they  can  do  well, there- 
fore, it  will  be  better  to  teach  a  few  games  thoroughly,  than  to  attempt  many. 

The  classification  and  grading  is  merely  suggestive.  No  doubt  the  pu- 
pils of  the  Second  and  Third  Grade  will  enjoy  some  of  those  games  des- 
signated  for  the  First  Grade,  and  conversely,  some  classes  of  the  lower 
grades  will  be  able  to  do  some'Of;*t|iose'^^Si^nip^i"or  the  higher  grades. 
The  teacher  should  be  careful,  however,  qot.to  attempt  anything  that  is  be- 
yond the  pupils'  ability.  .{.  ".  t  • ;   ':  *  .'  '*.  "•  •-'    *  ' 

In  the  collection  and  preparation  of  the  material  I  have  had  the  kindly 
advice  and  assistance  of  Mr.  Waiter  Aiken,  Miss  Albertina  Bechmann, 
Mr.  Ernst  Thoma,  Mr.  K.  D.  Hofer  and  Miss  Edith  Grebner^    to  all  of 
whom  I  hereby  express  my  gratitude.

on  the  hand  and  "are  asleep."  Those  forming  the  outer  circle  sing  while  moving 
around  to  the  right  or  left.  When  they  sing  "Awaken,  awaken,"  the  second  time, 
those  sleeping,  rise,  take  hold  of  hands  and  with  gallop  step  move  around  to  the 
left  or  right,  while  those  in  outer  circle  stop  and  clap  their  hands  in  time  with

the  opposite  direction.    While  singing  the  final  ''run,  run,   run,"  the  players 
stamp  three  times,  whereupon  the  mouse  runs  away,  passing  in  and  out  of  the  cir- 
cle under  the  arms  of  the  other  players  and  the  cat  runs  after  the  mouse  and  tries 
to  catch  it,  as  in  the  usual  cat  and  mouse  game. 

Note:-  In  the  school  room  the  children  remain  seated  and  the  cat  and  mouse  run 
back  and  forth  in  the  aisles.

niment to  the  singing.  With  the  repetitions  the  others  follow  in  order  until 
the  last  couple  has  reached  its  original  place  at  the  end  of  the  line. 

Finish  by  singing  the  last  line. 

Instead  of  two  long  lines,  the  class  may  be  divided  into  a  number  of  small 
groups  all  singing  at  the  same  time.     The  couples  then  skip  down  the  line  to 
th<e  end  of  their  respective  group,  release  hands  and  the  individuals  skip  on 
the  outside  of  their  respective  line,  grasp  hands  again  and  return  between  lines

Formation:    A  large  circle  facing  inward,  hands  grasped;  one  pupil  within. 

The  players  walk  or  skip  around  singing  the  first  part  of  the  song.  At  the 
words:  "lives  in  DruryLane,"  all  stop,  the  one  in  the  center  chooses  a  partner  and 
the  two  skip  around  inside  the  circle  singing  the  last  part  of  the  song.  These 
two  then  remain  in  the  circle  and  at  the  proper  time  they  each  choose  a  part- 
ner. The  game  continues  until  all  have  been  chosen.  Or  the  one  chosen  re- 
mains in  the  circle  while  the  other  takes  his  place  with  the  others. 

In  the  school  room  the  game  may  be  played  by  having  one  or  more  pupils  stand 
in  front  of  the  class  and  at  the  proper  time  choosing  a  partner  with  whom  they 
skip  around  the  room,  taking  their  seats  after  they  have  finished.  Others  are 
then  selected.  The  rest  of  the  class  remains  seated.  They  may  clap  hands  in 
time  to  the  singing  during  the  second  part.

Formation:     \  large  circle  facing  inwards,  grasping  hands,*  one  player  outside  of 
the  circle. 

The  circle  stands  still.  The  player  outside  runs  around  the  outside  while  all  sing 
the  first  verse.  When  beginning  the  second  verse  all  raise  their  arms  (open  the  win- 
dows) and  the  outside  player  passes  under  the  arches,  formed  by  the  arms. During 
the  third  verse  the  player  selects  a  partner  by  standing  in  front  of  one  of  the  play- 
ers in  the  circle.  The  two  then  run,  hand  in  hand,  around  the  outside  of  the  circle, 
returning  inside  at  the  beginning  of  the  last  line.  They  then  bow  to  each  other  and 
the  first  player  returns  to  his  partner's  place  in  the  circle.  The  second  player  then 
starts  the  game  anew. 

In  the  school  room  the  pupils  remain  seated.  One  or  more  players  are  chosen  to 
go  ''Round  and  Round  the  village.''  The  players  run  up  and  down  the  aisle  and  touch 
one  or  more  players  who  follow  them.  When  singing  the  second  verse,  those  seated 
stand  on  their  seats  and  grasp  hands  with  their  neighbors  to  form  "windows."

Formation:    A  large  circle  facing  inward,  hands  grasped,  one  child  within.  When 
the  one  in  center  is  a  girl  sing  Lassie  and  when  a  boy    Laddie. 

Those  forming  the  circle  sing  and  move  around  to  right  or  left  while  sing- 
ing the  first  half  of  the  song.  During  the  second  half  they  stand  still  and 
imitate  the  movements  of  the  one  in  the  center.  The  child  may  execute 
any  movement  it  chooses.  Gymnastic  exercises,  skipping,  farmer  mow- 
ing, carpenter  hammering,    dancing,    '\\\  fact  anything  he  can  think  of. 

The  success  of  the  game  depends  upon  the  child  in  the  circle, therefore 
the  teacher  must  choose  a  lively,  imaginative  and  quick  thinking  pupil 
for  this  part.

Formation:  A  circle  of  couples.  Boys  on  the  inside,  girls  on  their  right,  the 
inner  hands  grasped,  outer  hands  on  hips. 

1.  Beginning  with  the  inner  foot,  polka-hop  in  line  of  direction.  Turn  back 
to  back  and  face  to  face  as  the  inner  and  outer  feet  are  moved ,  at  the  same 
time  swing  the  inner  arms  forward  ajid  backward. 

2.  Partners  face   each  other,  grasp  right  hands  and  shake  three  times. 

3.  All  turn  right  (facing  in  opposite  directions),  clap  hands,  stamp  and  skip 
around  in  opposite  directions  until  each  has  passed  their  former  partner,stop- 
ping  when  they  meet  the  next  behind.  Then  all  face  in  the  original  di- 
rection, grasp  hands  and  begin  anew. 

Beginning  with  the  fir4t    "Good-bye"  the  song  is  repeated  until  all  have 
arrived  at  their  proper  places. 
Variation:      This  may  be  simplified  by  substituting  marching  for  polka-hop. 

The  arms  are  then  raised  so  as  to  form  an  arch.    In  the  last  part  skip  to  the 
same  partner  that  each  had  before. 

Other  words  may  be  substituted,  as:    This  is  a  happy  day;  or,     Today  is 
May's  birthday,  etc.  '

stands  in  the  space  between  the  lines.

2.  All  run  forward  and  as  they  meet  every  one  tries  to  get  a  partner.  The  ex- 
tra one  drops  the  broom  and  also  takes  a  partner.  The  couples  grasp  the  inner 
hands  and  with  polka-hop  dance  around  the  room.  The  one  who  fails  to  get

^^^^ 


^ 


^ 


Do    you  know  the     sev-en-   steps    and  the  way    to     dance   them? 


Lit~tle  maid-en  wait  for  me,  Ver-y   soon  I'll    call  for  thee.  I    know  them. 


Formation:    A  large  circle,  boys  and  girls  alternating,  facing  inward. 

The  circle  moves  to  the  left  with  either  short  running  steps,  or  with  skipping,

opposite  direction,  again  stopping  with  a  stamp  on  the  third  beat  of  the  eighth 
measure.  While  singing  the  last  three  words:  "I  know  •■hem','  the  boys  do  the 
''Seven  Steps."  These  three  words  are  repeated  one  more  time  with  each  repeti- 
tion of  the  song,  and  each  time  another  step  is  added,  until  they  are  sung  seven 
times,  when  all  seven  steps  are  done  in  succession. 

The  seven  steps  are:  1.  Step-hop  left:  Step  forward  left, hop  on  the  left  foot 
and  swing  the  right  leg  forward,  close  the  right  foot  to  the  left,  2.  Step-hop  right. 
3.  Courtesy  left:  Step  sideways  left,  cross  right  foot  behind  left  and  bend  knees, 
close  right  foot  to  the  left.  4.  Courtesy  right.  5.  Leap-turn  left:  Step  sideways  left, 
with  a  complete  turn  left  leap  onto  the  right  foot  and  close  the  left  foot  to  the 
right.  6.  Leap-turn  right.  7.  Jump  and  cross  the  legs,  jump  to  straddle  position 
sideways,  jump  and  with  complete  turn  left  bring  feet  together.

Others  may  be  taken  instead.
